Then her face flushed, and she glared at Akira Fujimiya.
That kind of dress didn't look cute no matter how one looked at it.
However, if only Akira saw it, she… she could barely accept that kind of dress.
The three of them stayed in the store for a long time.
As they prepared to leave, suddenly Yukinoshita Haruno called.
Akira hesitated for a moment before answering.
"I asked my secretary to rearrange the room and add some tools for you to draw comics. There are also several motorcycles in the underground parking lot, and your licenses are in the drawer," Haruno said directly, waiting until Akira answered.
"...Thank you for your help," Akira said after a brief pause.
"Be nice to Yukino," Haruno added, then hung up.
Akira stared at the hung-up phone and could understand Haruno's intentions.
Because of what happened that morning, she had been bested by him. Rearranging the room was effectively giving it to him, with the rest being incidental.
If Akira were older, he might have received a few cars as well. Since he wasn't, Haruno could only provide motorcycles. A license was not a problem for her; she also believed Akira could learn to ride quickly.
"What's wrong?" Yukinoshita Yukino approached him.
"Your sister called and gave me that room. From now on, it's mine," Akira said with a smile.
"I was going to tell my sister… she might have seen the clothes in the closet," Yukino said softly.
"Yukino, do you want me to move into your apartment and live there?" Akira asked with a teasing smile.
"I don't..want you to move in," Yukino's face flushed.
"I have the key to your apartment and can come by anytime," Akira said, knowing she might secretly want him to stay, but now wasn't the right time.
Occasionally staying there was fine. Moving in permanently could make her mother confront him within a week.
"If… if Mother finds out, you must tell me, and I'll face it with you," Yukino added, clearly anticipating the possibility.
"Don't worry. Mrs. Yukinoshita will probably be satisfied with me. If she wasn't, she would have come to me long ago. In fact, I would rather she come and ask me how much I need to leave you.Then I could tell her righteously that you are a priceless treasure in my heart, and I wouldn't exchange you for any amount," Akira held Yukino's hand and joked.
Yukino rolled her eyes at him.
...
In the cinema, today's movie was the kind that appeals to people with chuunibyou tendencies.
It told the story of an ordinary high school student who gains superpowers and eventually saves the world. People with chuunibyou tendencies loved it because the male protagonist was a chuunibyou boy himself.
Even before receiving his powers, he fantasized about being a hero.
Seeing a classmate bullied, he imagined making a stylish entrance, defeating the villains, and being noticed by a beautiful girl passing by.
But in reality, he didn't dare intervene and ran home instead.
One day, while investigating a supernatural phenomenon, he met a girl being hunted.
This girl wasn't a superpowered being but an advanced artificial intelligence already possessing human intelligence and emotions.
The male protagonist was injured, and she saved him, unlocking his powers.
The story continued simply.
He brought her home, and for some unknown reason, she transferred to his school. When he saw classmates being bullied again, and this time he finally intervened and beat the bullies. After which the most beautiful girl in school noticed him.
At the climax, the girl's enemies discovered him and sent reinforcements.
At a critical moment, the beautiful girl received powers from the AI girl and became his ally.
They defeated the institute's evil doctor together.
The beautiful girl also fell in love with the protagonist and followed him thereafter.
After the movie, Yukinoshita Yukino asked Akira what he thought.
"If I were the screenwriter, I'd add a scene where the heroine calls her family afterward to report that the institute has been dealt with," Akira said thoughtfully.
"This kind of twist is very interesting," Yukino commented with a smile.
"There's another twist," Akira added, glancing at the now blank screen.
"Tell me about it," Yukino said curiously.
"Everything was the protagonist's dream. From the moment he met the girl, it was all a dream. When he woke up, he went to school and again saw classmates being bullied. He chose to intervene," Akira explained slowly.
"This…" Yukino was stunned.
The first reversal could easily support a sequel, playful and childish.
The second reversal, however, invited deeper thought.
(T/N: it made me remember a novel 🥲... Damn the ending still made me mad)
"Maybe in the future, I'll write movie scripts… or animated movie scripts," Akira mused.
"I'm looking forward to it," Yukino said softly.
"It's time to go, Yukino-chan, Akira-kun," Yui pouted, feeling ignored, as the two were in their own world.
"Where to next?" Akira asked.
The two girls exchanged glances before looking at him.
Akira nodded, understanding their intent.
....
They headed to Sakurasou.
Saki Kawasaki was tutoring her younger sister with homework with Hiratsuka Shizuka seating beside them, relaxed, while holding a copy of Future Weekly Comics.
She didn't know much about manga until Akira had introduced her to the series. She'd seen many excellent episodes and was frustrated when one ended just as the story became exciting.
She clenched her fists, wishing she could find the author to scold them for stopping at such a cliffhanger.
The sound of the door opening interrupted her thoughts.
As the three of them walked in: Akira with Yukino and Yui.
Shizuka raised her eyebrows and glared fiercely. Yukino's expression was calm, while Yui's showed nervousness.
"Sensei, can we talk?" Yukino asked politely.
"Come with me," Shizuka said, understanding they must have reached an agreement.
She led them into her room, knowing no one else around Yukino could discuss such matters.
Akira sat in Hiratsuka's seat, picking up the manga, as Saki Kawasaki observed him quietly.
.....
Inside Shizuka room,
A box of snacks, brought by Yui, sat on the coffee table.
"Yukino, what is it that you want to discuss?" Shizuka asked.
"I made an agreement with Yuigahama-san," Yukino said after a moment of silence.
"What agreement?" Shizuka frowned.
"I will marry Akira first. Three years later, we divorce, and he marries Yuigahama-san," Yukino said slowly.
"You… what did you say?" Shizuka looked stunned.
"This is the best solution we could come up with, and all three of us agree," Yukino continued.
Shizuka Hiratsuka was speechless.
The solution seemed reasonable… but divorce after marriage? The potential emotional damage to Yukino was significant.
Her initial instinct was to dissuade her, but she remembered the premise: Yukino likely had only one chance to choose her own husband.
If she missed Akira, her mother might arrange someone else.
While, she didn't want to persuading Yui to step aside.
It feel too cruel to Yui and also because it was impossible.
"Sensei, I don't want to leave Akira-kun. I love him," Yui's voice was firm.
"....Your parents won't approve of this, right?" Shizuka asked, concerned.
The Yukinoshita family might not interfere, but Yui's family definitely would.
"I'll try my best to convince them," Yui said, clenching her fists.
"This will be difficult…"
"Akira-kun and I will both help Yuigahama-san. If necessary, I will personally persuade her parents," Yukino said decisively.
"Yukino…"
"Sensei, I told you because you are the only person I can completely trust. You also hold special meaning to Akira-kun," Yukino continued.
"What do you mean by that!" Shizuka ask, her expression strange.
"Akira-kun not only respect you as a teacher but it is because you are like an carrying older sister to him" Yukino said, her voice lowered.
Yui lowered her head, understanding. So that's what she meant. She had thought…it was something else....
"If I had a brother like him, I would have used him as a punching bag a long time ago," Shizuka remarked, her expression strange.
"Akira-kun may be able to complete your task. If he really does…" Yukino paused.
Shizuka understood immediately.
"If he really did it, I…"
